| 15:03 | jnettlet[m]> | vpeter: yeah that was added in recent kernels. My machines show that as well |
| 15:04 | jnettlet[m]> | I think it was 4.15 that added it |
| 15:40 | Ke> | jnettlet[m]: perhaps vpeter was expceting atom to be sufficiently unspeculative and in-order to be not affected |
| 15:41 | jnettlet[m]> | possibly. unfortunately all CPUs back about 17 years have the bug. |
| 15:41 | jnettlet[m]> | and some Intel is not planning on fixing. |
| 15:41 | Ke> | cortex-a53 doesn't |
| 15:41 | Ke> | nor a55 |
| 15:49 | jnettlet[m]> | I meant Intel |
| 15:50 | jnettlet[m]> | but yes |
| 15:50 | jnettlet[m]> | although the a55 is the only one that tries to over come the performance limitations of in order execution. |
| 16:48 | vpeter> | Ke: No, I was aware of the bug but didn't saw that in cpuinfo yet :) |
| 16:49 | vpeter> | I see this info also on 4.4 on Ubuntu. |
